It's odd. I've felt so peaceful about fabric since I joined this. I glance at the thousands of Bolts sales emails and all I'm thinking as I delete them is, "Those will still be happening a year from now. No pressure."
Best thing is, I feel my creative juices stirring. There's tons of beauties hiding in my stash, I just know it! It's just a matter of giving it time, finishing stuff I'm already working on, and letting new ideas come out from my fabric shelves.
One day at a time. And right now, I'm loving each one. So glad you are all with me.... :thumbup: :D Thought I'd share.

I try to get *some* sort of excitement from browsing (online mostly) and it' been blissfully not-tempting.

Well, I fell off the wagon yesterday. Bought a panel of Maxine fabric to make potholders. They are so cute. Usually I would have purchased half the store so feel pretty good about keeping it to this small purchase. Perhaps I can do better in january.

Well today was a good day :thumbup: I went to my local discount fabric store and I am pleased to say the only purchase I made was thread and backing fabric. It was all I needed and all I bought. I did look but all I could think of was the pile of fabric on the spare bed that is not going down.
The last three weeks I have pieced 4 single bed quilt tops for the childrens ward, made 16 small 26 inch blankets for a local charity and cut strips and squares to be used in scrap quilts.
My DS keeps coming into my sewing room asking me if I am adding to the pile, he swears it is growing every day :thumbdown:
I just keep telling myself "I can do this"
Now instead of searching online patchwork shops I am searching for scrap quilt patterns

I was at a BOM class on Saturday. The shop owner came into the class room and announced that the Christmas fabric and kits were 45% off. I bought an antique wooden sewing machine drawer, and 2 small kits, mostly because they had the patterns that I was thinking about buying anyway, so it was like getting the fabric for free. Plus I will be giving them for gifts (my family does Christmas in July so some of these sales I just can't resist). I'm still proud that I wasn't at all tempted by the yardage.
